Wouldn't life be much easier if you could just eat a little bit less, without really noticing it? Well, you can! Follow Emma's 5 simple consumption cuts that won't leave you starving.
1
Use smaller plates
This is a great way to manage portion control – still have a full plate, but without the unnecessary portions.
2
Plan your meals in advance
Plan what to eat and what you need to buy and only buy what you need. Avoids waste and unhealthier snap decisions based on hunger.
3
Fill up on protein
Protein is very satiating, so ensure your meals include a good amount and opt for protein based snacks.
4
Choose your plates wisely
Colourful plates have been proven to lead us to eat less than white plates.
5
Keep a food diary
Noting down what we eat, instead of mindlessly snacking on chocolate and crisps for example, is proven to help us eat less.
